I am elusive
Hard to find
Sometimes I disappear into the night
Sometimes I look like a ghost
A vapor barely there
I can be the light mist in the wind
I am invisible

I can be a shadow on the wall
A faint outline of a person
Almost disappearing
Almost not there

I am elusive
Hard to pin down
Always moving to and fro
I am a phantom
I am the dream that is not real
That disappears when you wake
The butterfly you cannot keep
A moment in time that passes

I am elusive
Never really there
